Proof. All we have to do is to show that given morphisms $W \to V \to U$ the composition $\mathcal{F}^+(U) \to \mathcal{F}^+(V) \to \mathcal{F}^+(W)$ equals the map $\mathcal{F}^+(U) \to \mathcal{F}^+(W)$. This can be shown directly by verifying that, given a covering $\{ U_ i \to U\} $ and $s = (s_ i) \in H^0(\{ U_ i \to U\} , \mathcal{F})$, we have canonically $W \times _ U U_ i \cong W \times _ V (V \times _ U U_ i)$, and $s_ i|_{W \times _ U U_ i}$ corresponds to $(s_ i|_{V \times _ U U_ i})|_{W \times _ V (V \times _ U U_ i)}$ via this isomorphism. $\square$
